The PM-200 Personal Gas Monitor

Source: Metrosonics, A Quest Technologies Brand
The PM-200 personal gas monitor measures and alarms for hazardous levels of oxygen and select combustible gases.

Standard features include automatic one button calibration, a safety chirp to indicate to the user that the instrument is functioning, loud pulsating warning horn, flashing visual alarm indicators and an intelligent zero function that prevents the operator from zeroing in a contaminated environment. Simple user selectable alarm levels are also available for low/high O2 and High LEL.

Confined space kits are available that allow personal gas monitoring from a distance of up to 50 feet. The sample draw pump included in the kit is capable of sensing a flow restriction and warning the user.

The PM-200 personal gas monitor is housed in a rugged Ip54 Rated Nickel Alloy plated RFI/EMI resistant case making it ideal for harsh confined space entry requirements.

Three interchangeable power pack options including standard user replaceable alkaline batteries, rechargeable nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride battery packs offer the ultimate in long battery life.
